Yes, The Pirate Bay Movie Will be Freely Available Online This February

There's not going to be much of a trade in low-res "screeners" of the Pirate Bay movie, thanks to a decision to sell it and give it away online to everyone on the day it receives its premiere next month.

The film about the Bay, called TPB AFK, will be shown in public for the first time at the Berlin Film Festival on February 8th. It'll also appear online for download at the same time, although users will be given the option to pay to watch it through this official channel if they'd like to support the film makers.

If not, the film's being released under a Creative Commons license, so it'll be free to download from the torrent site of your choice. Or it'll be legally OK for someone to whack it up on YouTube. It might even make Channel 5. [TPB AFK via TorrentFreak]
